He is staying in for protection. The extra money doesn't make up for having your experience count as added protection (they can't fire him, they can reduce those jobs and employees with more service time will keep the job first).

If a company can fire quickly and replace with cheaper options no one is going to last more than a few years. Many software shops do this (meta, Amazon, generic local company, etc.

I share your experiences working in a union environment when younger and having family have live long jobs. In one case I felt the union was against me or my class of worker (student employee) because we took away from regular union jobs. Still had to pay dues. The other union job just took a few dollars from my paycheck but gave me a wage I couldn't earn elsewhere.
The goal of my work is to allow for deeper and easier Rust/.NET interoperability.

Besides the main compiler part, the project comes bundled with an interop layer, which allows you to easily call C# code from Rust and vice versa.

Besides that, the interop layer (which is not yet finished) will also contain support for defining .NET classes from Rust code.

The main use case I imagine is using Rust libraries from .NET. This can decrease the GC usage, while still allowing you to easily hold references to managed classes.

This is also what the interop layer is geared towards: I want people to be able to quickly write managed wrappers around Rust crates, and for the Rust compiler to verify this glue code is safe, both on the Rust and .NET side. A lot of this is WIP, but in the future I will be able to fully verify the safety of such glue code.

Having a pure-il assembly also enables one executable to be used across all targets .NET supports. Adding another pure-IL dependency can be easier than adding one that ships with an unmanaged library.

The Rust to .NET translation is also very high-level: it preserves things like argument and variable names, types, field names, etc. You will also be able to catch a Rust unwind in C# code (as a normal exception) and Rust code will be able to catch .NET exceptions.

Overall, the goal is to provide more performant .NET libraries, which can be used without even knowing that they are written in Rust. This way, the cost of moving existing codebases to such libraries will be much smaller.

Please let me know if you have any other questions, I will be more than happy to answer them :).
Examining the robustness of LLM evaluation to distributional assumptions
To me it looks like a SharePoint for engineering teams.

With plugins focused around projects/deployments/metrics.

Which sounds actually interesting.
Is there anything at all to be said about the fact that slavery ended up being permissible anyway? Or is that just lazy?

Like, doesn't the sheer magnitude of the inhumanity that actually existed in these times kind of overshadow whatever armchair-enlightment some guys voiced?

How could you be aware of what they did in those times even the slightest bit, and yet still be concerned that one might "insult" guys who have been dead 200 years? How can that even make sense?
I strongly disagree with you about Janus.

The point of that decision by a right-wing court was to make it harder for public sector workers to stand together in unions. Unions are democratic institutions, with dues and leadership decided by the membership, and the idea that some people pay and some don't even though the entire unit is represented doesn't make a ton of sense. Just like it wouldn't make sense if 2 people in a unit of 1000 wanted to be in a particular union to just say those 2 can bargain collectively.

The weird "speech" argument was basically that their worksite issues are inherently political. I disagree. Unions have separate political funds from the worksite stuff that are optional.
Personally I was content with 3G, especially 3G voice that was part of 4G LTE until the US carriers were allowed to kill it and force everyone into churning devices. I would likely still be using my S7 if not for that.
Uber and Lyft are not in the robotaxi business. And yes, a lot of these gig companies barely make any money as it is. Most lose money. They basically just hope to be the last one standing and to then rack up prices to a profitable level.
Diet and exercise are extremely effective in treating type 1 diabetes. But some exogenous insulin (and other medications) are usually still required.

For type 2 diabetes, research had shown that many patients can put the condition into remission through lifestyle changes alone. Nutritional ketosis is very effective in reversing insulin resistance.

I really like this. I currently use Craft, but while Craft started out simply, it expanded to some more "power" features. People host their entire websites on it, although it requires workarounds to do that. And the guardrails/limitations end up making things you build kind of the same.

I love the simplicity of Lowercase. The price is good too. I will be giving it a test rise here and there, because I do send a lot of communications that I enjoy mocking up with very basic formatting.

I'd love to the Publishing toggle taken out of the settings panel or whatever.
If you're doing simulations, or poking big matrices continuously on CPUs, you can saturate the memory controller pretty easily. If you know what you're doing, your FPU or vector units are saturated at the same time, so "whole system" becomes the bottleneck while it tries to keep itself cool.

Games move that kind of data in the beginning and doesn't stream new data that much after the initial texture and model data. If you are working on HPC with GPUs, you may need to constantly stream in new data to the GPU while streaming out the results. This is why datacenter/compute GPUs have multiple independent DMA engines.

I think Russel, like many scientists, feels the need to dangle "the next big idea" as a tantalizing reason to allow more idleness. I do think that in an important sense, he is right and you are wrong, that "pressure to deliver" is not as necessary as you think, and that the world has not changed so much since his time so as for him to have once been right but now be wrong

However, I think this takes for granted the primacy of "big ideas" as the sole organizing principle we should arrange the world to efficiently produce, by force if necessary. I think the real argument for UBI is that self-determination is a core value, that the negotiations we make to better society neither need nor should involve a gun to the head of every person not born into wealth. I also think that overvaluing efficiency, expediency, and generally speaking impatience is pushing our species off a cliff
Just a hunch. Things are crazy and getting crazier at an accelerated clip.
Show HN: Dillo 3.1.0 released after 9 years
As commented before[1], I've been working on the past months to get the Dillo
back to life and today I'm happy to release the 3.1.0 version, after almost 9
years since the last one.

[1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38847613

During this time:

- A new mailing list was created[2] which is beginning to get
some messages and patches. It is available in gmane via NNTP at
gmane.comp.web.dillo.devel.

[2]: https://lists.mailman3.com/hyperkitty/list/dillo-dev@mailman...

- A LiberaPay page[3] which received the first donations (thanks!).

[3]: https://liberapay.com/dillo/

- Some more bugs where fixed and new features where added (details in the
release page and/or changelog).

Thanks to all the people that contributed with patches and tests. Now let's see
if we can make it land in some distros!
> Where is it being generated

The motor controller is turning the motor on and off rapidly in this frequency range to control the power in each winding. The inductance of the motor converts this to a near-constant amount of power.

> cage that can be built around the motors

The motors already have shielding and the wiring does, too. But when every car has peak RF output of hundreds of kilowatts, not too much of a fraction has to leak out to completely jam the AM band.
If you're only going to listen to one, listen to the Radiolab episode. The Radiolab episode is crisp and well reported, the 99% Invisible episode is muddled and rambling by comparison.
The thing I hate most about my Camry Hybrid is that it doesn't have a CD player... but if I wanted one [just like an AM radio] I'd pay to have a new radio unit installed.

For now I'm enjoying the free satelite radio trial.
Yeah that's the part I find extremely odd, why the fuck are they all so eager to support AM radio when they can't agree on literally anything else. Usually you have to follow the money but this kinda flies in the face of that unless there's some wacky industry shit I don't know about.
So, sunk cost fallacy? I suppose.

I don't think anyone fundamentally disagrees with you, but an author making a toy 3d modeler in a week usually doesn't have the goal to disrupt an entire industry. It's a nice place to consider on a fundamental level what tools like these could and couldn't do that current work flows cannot.
I'm not seeing the market manipulation unless it's some quirk of the formal definition rather than the informal meaning of the term?

I was under the impression that he had an old fashioned value play, levered up to the moon using total return swap (these do have real uses) which blew up on him.

Existential operator can be used as optional chaining operator but also in trailing position ie:

if window?
env = 'browser'
...

is equivalent to:

if (typeof window !== "undefined" && window !== null) {
env = 'browser'
...
}

But yes, nullish coalescing and optional chaining that came from existential operator are good.

When things are brand new and in good condition, yes, probably.
The entire American medical system manages to act against the interests of both patients and doctors, the two essential classes of participants. It’s a rather remarkable achievement.
Thanks for the recommendation, will add!
Thanks for sharing!

OS/2 was awesome for sure.

Did you run all those 8 nodes on a single 386?
I'm using flameshot ( https://flameshot.org/ ), which sounds pretty similar, but FOSS and cross platform.
CBMC ist pretty cool, I've used it in my bachelor's thesis for verification of fairness properties in proportional voting. Another use case I've seen is using CBMC in multiparty computation. What you have there is methods that work on boolean circuits. Flange CBMC in front of this and you got multiparty computation of C code.

The SEC is alleging that he did mislead his brokers: https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2022-70

> The complaint also alleges that, as part of the scheme, Archegos repeatedly and deliberately misled many of Archegos’s counterparties about Archegos’s exposure, concentration and liquidity, in order to get increased trading capacity so that Archegos could continue buying swaps in its most concentrated positions, thereby driving up the price of those stocks. Ultimately in March 2021, price declines in Archegos’s most concentrated positions allegedly triggered significant margin calls that Archegos was unable to meet, and Archegos’s subsequent default and collapse resulted in billions of dollars in credit losses among Archegos’s counterparties.

> The SEC’s complaint, filed in federal district court in Manhattan, charges Hwang and the other defendants with violating antifraud and other provisions of the federal securities laws. The complaint seeks permanent injunctive relief, return of allegedly ill-gotten gains, and civil penalties. The SEC also seeks to bar individual defendants from serving as a public company officer and director.
This comes closer to a cogent answer, which is what I was after.

As I said, I'm not ready to publish this, but I wanted to hear some arguments that made sense. So thanks.

To me, "probability of progression from pre-diabetes to diabetes" is the only reason to say it's a real condition rather than just a risk factor.

Furthermore, it would be the derivative of the level, rather than the level itself.

And finally, it would have to be separated from other unhealthy conditions. Meaning, if they drink too much AND have pre-diabetic A1C, ERROR! Otherwise, how do you know it's not the alcohol?
I've heard of the same thing happening with people trying to negotiate a better phone contract. I don't think there's an alternative though. The credible threat of losing you as a customer is, of course, the whole point.

Reminds me of an old quote: If you can’t walk away from a negotiation, you aren’t negotiating.

I had the same experience getting drunk and high once. I was just experiencing frames in between.
I'm here, on this website, reading about the ins and outs of AM reception and considering the effects of mandating the continued existence certain kind of modulation. I also bought a new car recently. In the Venn diagram of people, I'm probably right in all of the tiny overlaps (save for, maybe, concern about current baseball scores).

I can't imagine choosing between two cars and picking one because of its AM radio reception. I wouldn't even make a bet that I know if my car can receive AM.
What do you mean by system domain? Like technical, non-user facing services like CacheService and ObjectStore?
> it doesn't seem a stretch to claim that the median American is also pre-diabetic

No, it's your evidence that's thin. You seem to have started from the premise ("Americans are unhealthy") and derived a pre-diabetes level from that.
NotePlan is also a good alternative if you don't want to setup plugins and your own syncing system, but it has no free options.
Window AI (https://windowai.io/) is an attempt to do something like this with a browser extension.
> Otherwise they wouldn't go to court to force people who don't even want to be in the union...

Even worse, they might request your dismissal if you don't join. Here is a direct quote from the Union agreement of a major university, where I teach part-time: "The Union may request that a Part-time Faculty Member who fails to join the Union, maintain Union membership, pay an agency fee, or make a charitable contribution in lieu of an agency fee shall be dismissed. If the Union makes such a request, the Employer shall comply... If the Part-time Faculty Member fails to pay within that time period, and the Union so verifies, the Part-time Faculty Member’s employment will be terminated at the Union’s request".

If anything, unions are only acting in their own interest.
Appreciate the kind words :)
Not a felt tip, but I strongly recommend the Uniball Vision in 0.7mm. It's inky and free flowing, drying fairly quickly.

Pens are highly personal I think, but something I have never been able to replicate is the right paper to use with them.

One of my first professional business cards, when I was a Legislative Aide for the Energy and Commerce committee, was brilliant for one specific reason: no smear. I could write on the back with any pen and the ink was so well absorbed it did not smear. It has been an impossible task to find writing paper OR a business card with the same properties.

Is there a paper expert that could explain why some paper absorbs ink, locking it in, and others don't? Any recommendations for paper that would work? I use linen fiber now but it's still not the best.
> There is nothing about carbs themselves that is bad for diabetics.

That is untrue. A Type 1 diabetic requires insulin proportional to the amount of carbohydrates they eat. The larger the insulin dose, the higher the potential error in the dose compared to the carbs (it’s inexact). If the error is on the “too much” side it can drive blood sugar fatally low. This happens, unfortunately often.
Yes, that was stupid. Also not embracing flow/ts when they had a chance still riding on atom/rails.

I guess when exploring uncharted territory it's a bit of a dice roll - you can't keep winning all the time.

Otherwise great contrib to advance frontier.
I don't know about Karate but in boxing you exert extra velocity through the movement of the whole body starting with the feet when punching. Kinetic energy is 1/2 m * v^2.
I agree here. There might be a lot of funding going into AI, and there will be high-profile companies that go bust, but both business and non-technical users are paying because they get value.

- consumers using chat & image gen

- devtools buying, and users leveraging, tools like kapa.ai

- RAG definitely provides ROI

- medical imaging & drug discovery

- robotics like Stanford Aloha

- ecosystem for day-2 problems in LLM based systems

The applications are only going to grow
While that’s true for CDs, with DVDs and I assume Blu-rays as well the layer you’re talking about is in the center sandwiched by plastic on both top and bottom.
No thanks. Avoiding those hypothetical future packages is a better tradeoff.
I read your linked article, and I’m so sorry for what you went through and what you continue to live with. Two members of my immediate family were diagnosed with cancer within a month of each other. One didn’t make it as a result of just how punishing the adjuvant treatments were. She succumbed to an infection and couldn’t fight it off.

Being in the treatment rooms for both people made surgery, chemo, and radiation all feel like blunt instruments that crushed the patients. Even 3 months post treatment, my surviving family member suffers from the effects of the treatments, and likely will for up to a year we’ve been told.

I hope you get some relief and hope for your situation. Your writing is exceptional.
It's strictly a question of his likelihood P for developing diabetes. If his P is the same as that of other people with lower A1C, then "prediabetes" is nonsense.

So we agree that the original comment was no less ambiguous or confusing than after this analysis?
Atlanta had a phenomenal BBS scene in the 80s, in part because the 404 area code was flat rate for all local calls and covered a large (at least 25 miles, probably more) radius around Atlanta proper.

When I moved to the SF Bay Area in 1991 I couldn’t figure out why the BBS scene in tech mecca sucked so badly. Then I got my first phone bill and discovered out here local calls were metered for anything over a few miles away…
You can compare any two things. Abraham Lincoln is taller than a turtle.

I wasn’t equating the two, just pointing out that suicidal people are not in their right mind and thus their word cannot be taken at face value. Perhaps he did the sequence of events we’re discussing specifically so that we’d be saying it can’t be suicide. He was, after all, trying to take Beoing down right? Maybe he viewed it as a worthy way to give his life.

I’m not saying that’s the case, I surely have no idea, just that it very well could be.
If you look around, that happens often on several different industries.

Somehow both people consuming and producing stuff are powerless nowadays.
I was talking with a friend in HPC lately who said that AMD is actually quite competitive in the HPC space these days. For example, Frontier (https://docs.olcf.ornl.gov/systems/frontier_user_guide.html) is an all-AMD installation. Do scientists actually use ROCm in their code or does AMD have another programming framework for their Instinct chips?

> Leaving your phone behind means the data it holds and transmits will be the safest it will ever be, but it also means giving up access to important resources. It becomes much more difficult to coordinate with others, or get updates from social media. For many, phone cameras are also the only way they can document what’s happening.

> If you have access to a separate phone, whether it’s a “burner” phone, an old smartphone that you can reset, or an old-fashioned camera, you could choose to bring these devices instead of your regularly-used phone.

Asymmetric, not asynchronous.
This is exactly how I felt when I went keto/low inflammation foods. Would have never expected it.
Thanks! So we actually started with offline first originally (a standalone desktop app) and then rebuilt for the web. We had plans to revisit based on interest, etc. so it's good to get the feedback here and use that to shape the direction.

Perhaps he viewed Boeing’s malfeasance as killing people. It did. And it was a clever form of martyrdom. That’s not exactly 3D chess, it’s just thinking one move ahead.

I really have no idea. I just don’t think we can say definitively that he didn’t kill himself because he said he would not.
Given your model, consider publishing a time-to-live metric: if you get no further donations, this is how long the service will last.

Then people who care about 1 month, 1 year, or 10 years can decide accordingly.

And also describe the processes for extracting data, etc.

Finally, talk about your motivations. You raise the issue by pricing at $0 without addressing the concerns that raises, in a era when "free" means the user is the product and when LLM's are a giant content vacuum that copies without attribution.
Are you talking about doing your own research or sheepishly believing on what some random person you like preaches to you?

That’s why it always cracks me up (in a sad way) when people tell someone suffering an anxiety attack to just calm down, or someone depressed to cheer up. Like oh, why didn’t I think of that? Thanks genius!
How would that even work? Both the wood and your fist will deform to absorb the impact. You may as well try to empty the ocean by scooping up water with your hands and throwing it on the beach.
